PGT Driveway & Pavers: The Pomona Owner’s Guide
We stock and install PGT-compatible driveway and paver components in Pomona, with most replacement jobs running $5,000-$14,000 for full driveway replacement and $250-$700 for sealing work. Most PGT paver issues we see in Pomona show up after the first heavy winter rain when water has been sitting in compromised joints all summer. You’ll notice it first as shifting panels near the garage threshold, or as a hollow sound when you walk the surface that wasn’t there last season.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT’s driveway and paver line breaks into three series that matter for parts matching: the residential PGT Paver System (PPS), the commercial-grade PGT Permeable Series, and the older PGT Interlock line discontinued around 2018 but still common in Pomona neighborhoods built during the 2012-2016 boom. The PPS series uses a 60mm thickness with a beveled edge profile; the Permeable runs 80mm with a spacer lug built into the side. Check the underside of a loose paver for the stamped model code, or measure edge-to-edge: 4 inches by 8 inches signals PPS, 4 by 8 with a 3/16-inch spacer lug signals Permeable.
We carry OEM PGT replacement pavers in the standard Sierra Blend and Desert Tan colorways, plus compatible equivalents from Belgard and Techo-Bloc for discontinued Interlock patterns. The aftermarket pieces match compressive strength (8,500 PSI minimum) but vary in color batching, so we always pull from the same production lot for a Pomona job to avoid the patchwork look you see on cheaper repairs. If your original install used PGT’s proprietary edge restraint system, the OEM bracket spacing is 18 inches on center; generic L-brackets run 24 inches and will fail at the curve within two years in our clay-heavy Pomona soils.
Signs Your PGT Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

- Sinkholes or depressions near the garage apron. This usually means the aggregate base has washed out through a failed joint, common in Pomona where the winter-spring transition packs heavy rain onto baked summer joints. The paver itself is fine; the bedding layer beneath it has become a cavity.
- White efflorescence blooming across the surface. Calcium hydroxide is migrating through the paver body, which signals either a bad batch from the factory or, more often, water sitting too long against the underside because the bedding sand has compacted into impermeable layers.
- Chipped corners on multiple pavers in a line. This pattern indicates edge restraint failure, not impact damage. The restraint has pulled away, letting the field pavers drift and cantilever past their support.
- Weeds growing from the center of pavers, not just the joints. Hairline cracks from freeze-thaw or salt exposure have opened capillary paths deep into the body. In Pomona’s inland climate this is rare, but it shows up on north-facing driveways where moisture lingers.
- A rattling or clicking sound under vehicle load. The bedding sand has degraded to fines and the paver is rocking on the base. Left alone, this grinds the paver thinner and transfers point loads to neighbors, starting a cascade failure across the field.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For PGT driveway and paver work in Pomona, here’s how the numbers break:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver driveway installation (new) | $7,000-$18,000 |
| Concrete driveway installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Driveway replacement (remove and reinstall) | $5,000-$14,000 |
| Driveway sealing | $250-$700 |
| Paver patio installation | $3,500-$11,000 |
The spread on replacement comes down to three things: how much of the base needs recompaction (our clay soils in Pomona heave more than coastal sand), whether the original edge restraint is salvageable, and if we’re matching a discontinued PGT color that requires sourcing from remaining distributor stock. Every quote we write itemizes base prep, materials, and labor separately. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that written price is locked before we touch a paver. No change order gets signed after the fact unless you request something different.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s no high-tension danger here like a garage door spring, but there’s plenty of ways to waste money. A homeowner can safely pull a loose paver, photograph the underside stamp, and check for standing water in the cavity. What goes wrong fast: relaying on uncompacted bedding sand, using polymeric sand before the surface is bone-dry, or skipping the plate compactor pass that seats the edge restraint. We’ve been called to Pomona jobs where the owner spent a weekend and $400 in materials, only to have the same paver rock again in six weeks because the base wasn’t screeded to grade.
We carry PPS and Permeable series pavers on our truck, plus the correct edge restraint brackets and #8 bedding stone. Measure twice, then we can talk. Call (626) 606-1081 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a written line-item quote.
FAQs
Properly installed PGT pavers last 25-30 years in Pomona’s inland Southern California climate, though joint sand and sealer need attention every 3-5 years. The thermal swing here is wide, 40°F winter mornings to 100°F summer afternoons, which stresses the joint material more than the paver body. Call (626) 606-1081 for an exact quote on maintenance or replacement - estimates are free.
Yes, if the base is intact and the failure is isolated to the wearing surface or joints. We remove the affected field, regrade and recompact the bedding layer, and reinstall with matching material. If the base has washed out or the edge restraint has failed across more than 30 percent of the perimeter, replacement of that section is the honest recommendation. Call (626) 606-1081 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A typical residential driveway replacement runs 3-5 days in Pomona: one day for removal and base evaluation, one to two days for base prep and compaction, one day for laying and initial joint sand, plus a curing period before final compaction and sealer. Weather holds are rare here but we build them into the written schedule. Call (626) 606-1081 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We stock the PPS and Permeable series in standard colorways on our truck, and maintain relationships with PGT’s regional distributor in Ontario for next-day pulls on specialty colors or large quantities. The discontinued Interlock line requires matching from our Belgard or Techo-Bloc equivalent stock, which we photograph and approve with you before installation. Call (626) 606-1081 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
